Had a great stay at this property, Property was clean, well presented, well stocked appliances, great location, great open plan living space, great TV and sound bar and an awesome view. Only point was there was no Red / General Garbage bin at the property or we could not find it. Note for other guests, park on the street do not attempt driving up the drive it is too steep.

We're thrilled to hear you had a great stay and enjoyed the cleanliness, amenities, open-plan layout, and of course, the amazing view. We appreciate you pointing out the missing waste bin — we're sorry for the inconvenience, I will go out to the property to track them down. And thank you for the helpful tip about parking; it's always great when guests share insights that make others' stays smoother. We’d love to welcome you back anytime! McGrath Port Stephens
